2021: Smart Points Announcement
At the end of December 2021, Huawei announced a new pair of smart glasses under the control of HarmonyOS - Huawei Smart Glasses. They allow you to receive calls, listen to music, take notes without using a smartphone.
Smart glasses are released in the form factor of classic glasses. The device is presented in three stylistic variations, called Boston, Wellington and Aviato. The user may additionally use lenses with diopters or with tinting and protection against UV radiation depending on the needs. For music playback, content viewing and other features, glasses are equipped with new 128 mm ultra-thin speakers that provide access to the Celia virtual assistant without the use of hands. Smart glasses will remind the owner of meetings and read messages, as well as report the weather.
The device also has spatter protection IPX4. Battery life is designed for 16 hours of mixed use - 4.5 hours in conversation mode and up to 6 hours of listening to music. The branded USB-C charging cable supports fast charging. Since the glasses have gesture support that allows the use of a combination of gestures, pinches and touches, the user, using any of these gestures or a combination thereof, can control the playback of music and receive or reject calls. In addition, the device automatically pauses playback when the owner removes the glasses.
New smart glasses also track the health of users' eyes and posture. For example, if the owner of the glasses begins to fade, the device will send a warning signal about the dangerous consequences of such a pose.
The cost of smart glasses starts at $266 for a model with lenses with diopters, and the version of sunglasses will cost $299. Both versions are already available for ordering in China.[1]
